SCX10-based Croc Hunter Land Cruiser [Reader’s Ride]

SCX10-based Croc Hunter Land Cruiser [Reader’s Ride]

Wesley Steinke’s truck started off as an Axial SCX10 Honcho, but with a donor body from a Crocodile Hunter toy truck, it’s now a beautifully detailed Toyota Land Cruiser 70 UTE complete with a reworked drivetrain to accommodate the body’s shorter wheelbase. The upper and lower links and MIP driveshafts were cut down, re-centered and […]

Online Coverage Of The 2013 Hobby Haven Off-Road Shootout

Over the Labor Day Weekend I went back to Urbandale, IA for the 2013 Hobby Haven Off-Road Shootout. This is the 14th year of this annual local event, but this race has now grown into a recognized regional event that attracts more out of state racers each year. This year we saw 258 entries with […]
The car is fairly stock, but the details are what separates Cav’s TC6.2. He tops it off with a Protoform LTC-R body that is trimmed to meet ROAR rules, and of course, is adorned in his signature livery.

2015 ROAR On-Road Nats: Under the Hood of Ryan Cavalieri’s Winning TC6.2

To say that Ryan Cavalieri is having a history-making season would be an understatement, but most would assume his domination would be contained to off-road. After all, he’s raced on-road in the past with mixed results, but lately he’s been on a different level. I was fortunate to take a peak under the hood of […]

A batch of Sweep spec tires caused problems in the first round of qualifying eventually causing the round to be redone to keep racing fair for everyone.

Tire Drama at the 2015 ROAR On-Road Nationals

Like any major event, tires are big deal and this National was subject to some unusual problems that only occurred as qualifying got under way.

I Can’t Stop Watching This Wraith Scrambling for Traction in Slo-Mo [VIDEO]

You can’t really appreciate what’s going on as your trail machine does its terrain-grabbing stuff until you see it in slow motion. Case in point: this Wraith, which appears to be on the way to a wresting match, as it rips rubble looking for grip. Pretty sure that’s John Cena behind the wheel, who isn’t […]

Kyosho Teases Hellcat & Charger Models With New Video

That’s what it looks like to us, anyway. The teaser clip reveals plenty of calling cards for the 707hp Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and a 1968-70 Charger. The video has engine sounds, which could mean the cars have simulated engine-sound systems. Or, Kyosho is just using the sound as ear candy for the video. Also […]

This RC Car Grew On a Tree [VIDEO]

This RC Car Grew On a Tree [VIDEO]

Well, if you want to get picky, it didn’t grow ON a tree, it WAS a tree. A maple tree, to be precise. Mechawood’s appropriately named “Woody” is made almost entirely from lasercut hardwood maple, including the wheels and gears. Other than springs, tires, electronics, and hardware, it’s wood through and through. Even the 2-stick […]
